Search still tops the list of Internet activities for U.S. adults along with sending and receiving email. An Internet survey done by Pew Internet showed that 92% of online adults use search engines to find information on the Internet – a whopping 59% of U.S. adults do this on a typical day.

What this means for homebuilders: Being found on Google is still one of the best lead generating and sales functions of your company. Spending marketing dollars on being found on the first page of a Google search for terms like ‘new homes Dallas’ (if you build new homes in the Dallas metro area) is one of the most effective marketing strategies you can employ.
